After a decade of the fabled Letterman irony, one can be excused a skeptical pause. Is he serious? Or is this another Letterman put-on, one of those statements meant to convey its precise opposite -- the way "those fine, fine people at General Electric" on his old show usually meant Dave had had another dustup with his bonehead corporate bosses. Letterman's new headquarters -- located a few stories above New York City's Ed Sullivan Theater, where he is about to unveil his new late-night talk show on CBS -- are clean, all right, but not without intrusion. The smell...
Allison did not mention this conversation in a subsequent report to Aspin, the investigative report said. He later told investigators that Aspin had expressed eagerness to fund the project. Aspin said he "did not recall discussing whether Dr. Allison should convey to the Russian officials [his] support for the seminar...however, [he] indicated that if Dr. Allison had sought [his] approval, [Aspin] probably would have granted it," the report said...

Backed by spare, guitar-centered arrangements, Isaak's compositions convey the aching pang of emotion without ever sounding wimpy. On Beautiful Homes his rich tenor throbs with vulnerability as he sings, "I stare at your window and I cry/ I love you so much/ I love you too much." He brings equal ardor to Two Hearts, a Latin-tinged Valentine levitated by his soaring falsetto, and a stirring remake of Neil Diamond's Solitary...
